HONG KONG: As Donald Trump, the newly elected U.S. president, threatens to impose 60% tariffs on Chinese imports, the economic challenges facing China have become even more pronounced. The proposed tariff increase, which dwarfs the 7.5%-25% range from his first term, comes at a time when the Chinese economy is more vulnerable than ever. Here’s how the situation has changed: 1.

Reliable sources confirm that no such missile attack took place. Instead, the incident involved rocket fire amidst an ongoing clash between Pakistan’s Frontier Corps (FC) and smugglers operating near the border region. These reports of targeted strikes on Pakistani territory lack any factual basis, particularly given the timing of the Iranian Foreign Minister’s visit to Pakistan. This clarification highlights that the conflict was isolated to a skirmish with smugglers, with no deliberate cross-border aggression…
